Happy 101 Award

I received this Happy 101 Award from Le, a newbie foodblogger who told me I was among those who inspired her to start her foodblog (mainly because I was in the same boat she is in now when I started my own foodblog...if you don't know it yet, you can read on my About Me page).

I feel honored to be a recipient of this award, and even though lately I am very busy, I am taking some time off to (1)enumerate and reflect on things that make me happy, and (2) pass this award on to others who have been making other people inspired and happy.

10 Things that make me happy:

1. Family time (watching, outing, traditional celebrations, target shooting, just having fun)2. My sunroom and the sampaguita flowers3. Cooking and baking, and people appreciating my efforts (blog readers, family, friends)4. When my patients express appreciation for what I do for them, or when I see them improve under my care5. When our cat Mimzy jumps on my lap to be petted (she is usually snobby)6. When my kids get good grades7. When other people speak highly of my kids8. When hubby reminds me how much he loves me (he does by building our house and my computer custom-made for ME)9. Having exercise time (which I barely get nowadays)10. Looking at our photos to see how much things/people have changed.

Here are the rules:1 Copy and paste the award on your blog.2 List who gave the award to you and use a link to her blog (or hyperlink).3 List 10 things that make you happy.4 Pass the award on to other bloggers and visit their blog to let them know about the award

Aw, thanks, Lori, for the award. You are an inspiration to me too and I feel like we are old friends even though we've never met. It always amazes me how we've gotten to know each other only through our blogs and yet feel such a connection. I just love our old group of Pinoy food bloggers :)

About Me

Filipina wife to an American. Worked prior as an MD, now as an RN.This foodblog is a chronicle of my adaptations in the kitchen to reach a compromise between my adventurous taste buds and my fussy-eater husband's. It also serves as a teaching tool to fellow Fil-Am newbie wives and hopefully will serve as reference that my children (and their would-be spouses) can always look back to in the future.If you get to a post that seems incomplete, click on the title to see the whole post.
